A visit to the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Parndorf is considered one of the most popular day trips for visitors to Vienna who see themselves as fashion and luxury brand enthusiasts. The location is about a 30-minute drive from central Vienna and is easily accessible by public transport (there’s a shuttle near the Vienna State Opera). It can also be a convenient stop for those traveling by car to visit Bratislava.
The Parndorf Outlet is impressively designed, just like a picturesque Austrian village. You can stroll through the small streets and visit the 160 stores within the complex. Among the brands, you’ll find stores like: Burberry, Michael Kors, Furla, Gucci, Montblanc, Rituals, Armani, Hugo Boss, and many more. Prices are reduced by 30% to 70%.
In addition to designer stores and luxury brands, there are several restaurants and an entertainment area for children.
